释义

aglidev.

Forms: see a- prefix1 and glide v.; also Middle English agleed (past tense, probably transmission error).
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: a- prefix1, glide v.
Etymology: < a- prefix1 + glide v.In Old English a strong verb of Class I; strong forms survive into Middle English. The word is not to be confused with later examples of a-gliding , now apprehended as an intensive formation on the present participle of glide v., but in origin showing a prep.1 11 and the verbal noun or gerund; compare:1847 W. Barnes Poems Rural Life in Dorset Dial. (ed. 2) 140 When the brook's a-glidèn So slow an' smooth down his zedgy bed.1909 E.

Duncan Songs Many Moods 46 I want to sit in the sunshine And watch the clouds sail by, Like white winged ships agliding Out through the limitless sky.
